Caring for Rudraksh

Deadhead religiously and keep beds clean.

Every leaf has a growth bud, so removing old flower blossoms encourages the plant to make more flowers instead of using the energy to make seeds.

Clean away from around the base of the rosebushes any trimmed debris that can harbor disease and insects.
